CIGAR-STAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 358,935, dated March 8, 1887.

Application filed December 11, 1886. Serial No. 221,250. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NATHAN KOHLER, a citizen of the United States, residing in Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Cigar- Stand, of which the following is a specifieation.

This invention relates to a oi gar-stand made, preferably, folding, and designed to hold twenty-five (more or less) cigars.

The invention consists in the various features of improvement hereinafter more fully pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying sheets of drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved cigarstand. Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the matchbox. Fig. 3 is a top view of the upper disk. Fig. 4 is a similar view of the lower disk. Fig. 5 shows the uprights piled one upon another. Fig. 6 shows a horizontal section of the uprights piled one upon the other. Fig. 7 shows a horizontal section of the same when in position to receive the disks.

The letters a represent four (more or less) uprights connected by means of a hinge made, preferably, of a piece of cloth, which is glued to the edges of such uprights, and as indicated by heavy line 00, Figs. (5 and 7, from which they radiate, so as to constitute a stand. Each upright is provided with a lower shoulder, b, and with an upper shoulder, 0. Upon the lower shoulders there is placed a disk, d, and upon the upper shoulders there is placed a disk, e. The disks (1 e are provided with twenty-five (more or less) holes or perforations, through which the cigars may be passed. The perforations in both disks are made to register, and the perforations in the lower disk, (1, are made smaller than those in the upper disk, e, to hold the cigars in place and prevent them irom dropping out.

At the center both disks d e are provided with a large opening having four (more or less) convex sides, so as to form the grooves or slits g for the reception of uprights a. By this construction the disks are properly held in place when once slipped over the uprights,

and at the same time prevent the latter from folding together.

If desired, pins It may be passed through holes in uprights a, above disks d e, to prevent them from being displaced vertically.

The uprights a are provided on top with shoulders or seats 2', upon which there rests an ash-receiver or matchbox, j, having anotched bottom, k. The notches in bottom k are entered by extensions l of uprights a, arranged outside of seats 2'. Thus the boxj is properly held in place.

WVhen the stand is to be folded together, the boxj and disks (Z c are lifted up to clear uprights a, the pins h having been previously withdrawn, whereupon the uprights may be piled one upon the other, as in Figs. 5 and 6.

The stand may be made of wood, metal, or other material.

What I claim isp 1. The combination of hinged uprights (1, having shoulders I) c, with perforated disks d 6, provided with central openings that have convex sides to form slits g for reception of uprights a, substantially as specified.

2. The combination of hinged uprights a, having shoulders be i and extensions Z, with the perforated disks (1 e, resting on shoulders b 0, and with boXj, having notched bottom k, that rests on shoulders i and is engaged by extensions Z, substantially as set forth.
